FAQ
How far away can the camera see?
Depending on the lighting conditions and the size of the object(s), you can view objects from 2 feet away (or more) with a
viewing angle of 80 degrees. The motion sensor is capable of detecting objects at up to 12–14 feet (3.5–4 m) with a field of
view of 80 degrees.
How sensitive is the camera's microphone?
The microphone picks up normal conversation 6–10 feet away.

Make sure the speaker volume is turned up when playing back the video
clip.

Does the computer have a sound card and are the speakers activated and
loud enough?
